Tessellation Lesson
Consider the W.H.E.R.E.T.O. elements. (L)
1.Where: Students will understand that there are relationships among angles, lengths, and sides of right triangles. Why: Understanding the Pythagorean Theorem is the basis for understanding trigonometric ratios in right triangles. What: MLR -Students understand and use basic ideas of trigonometry. 2. Hook: Students will watch and listen to a Pythagoras Rap which will set a foundation for proving the Pythagorean Theorem. 3. Equip: Students will know historical details about Pythagoras, the Pythagorean Theorem, multiple ways to prove the Pythagorean Theorem, and the relationship between the sides, lengths, and angles of a triangle. Explore: Students will use a graphic organizer to summarize the Pythagoras rap. They will also use the Pythagorean Theorem graphic organizers. Experience: Students will listen to the Pythagoras Rap individually, then put into groups using the "Parts of a Triangle" worksheet given at the beginning of the year. At the beginning of the year, students will fill out their "Parts of a Triangle" worksheet with their classmate's names. During the cooperative learning activity for this lesson, students will be paired with their "Hypotenuse" partners to hypothesize the Pythagorean Theorem proof. When the teams have finished collaborating, there will be a class discussion reviewing what they learned. Students will be able to review their information and edit it. After the class discussion, students will continue to work on individual assignments. 4.Rethink: Consider other proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem. Revise/Refine: Feedback will be given on the graphic organizers,proof, and outline. Rehearse: Students will use Inspiration software to create an outline for their project and create a flow chart of their proof of the Pythagorean Theorem. 5.Evaluate: There will be a pre/post blogging assignment to reflect. 6. Tailor:
Verbal: Students will be involved in pair, team, and class discussions. They will also be orally presenting their proof to the class.
Logical: Students will derive the proof of the Pythagorean Theorem.
Kinesthetic: Students will be moving around the classroom getting in/out of group formation.
Visual: There will be a visual aide to the Pythagorean Theorem proof. The Pythagorean Theorem will be displayed geometrically and algebraically.
Naturalist: Homework will include finding right triangles outside the classroom.
Intrapersonal: Students will be involved in group work.
Interpersonal: Students will work individually during certain parts of the lesson and will be required to reflect on the class activities.
Musical: The hook for this lesson is a rap about the Pythagorean Theorem.
